Un numéro spécial sur les Actes des Apôtres par Foi et vie - Cahier biblique 63
Bravo Foi & Vie pour ce numéro sur les Actes des Apôtres - cf. mon article sur le rôle intrigant de Gamaliel devant le Sanhédrin comme un 'sage conseiller' dans l'historiographie grecque. Et Luc devant ses lecteurs, aussi un 'sage conseiller'? www.foi-et-vie.fr/archive/revi... #classics #bible

Very stimulating book panel on Steve Walton’s commentary on the Acts of the Apostles with Steve Walton and respondents Luke Mcnamara, David Horrell and Loveday Alexander at the Acts seminar of the British New Testament Conference in Manchester #bnts25
Well (just as in 2024) the 2025 biblical studies job market opens up with a bang(er): Princeton Theological Seminary seeks a scholar of the New Testament at the rank of tenure-track assistant professor!

Fantastic resource; I wonder if BBC even has this…!👏👏👏
Thucydides, religion, and the divine? Here's my bit... "Le dilemme herméneutique de Thucydide: Comment décrire la guerre du Péloponnèse sans parler du divin comme Homère et Hérodote?", a chapter in this delightful Festschrift in honour of Philippe Lefebvre @unifr. amzn.eu/d/ghfAeya
Thank you. I’m considering a few possibilities; series in the Classics and Biblical research.
My interview with Steve Walton about his new commentary on the Acts of the Apostles (1:1–9:42). Classicists of all types (which includes biblical scholars!) will benefit from the depth of Steve's teaching and research! Thanks for your support and forbearance of my channel

A researcher and friend, after his presentation this week, was asked « What elements could undermine your argument? »
Ouch…a bit too close to home…
« Some people may be clever enough to teach many, and yet be useless to themselves. »
ἔστιν ἀνὴρ πανοῦργος πολλῶν παιδευτής, καὶ τῇ ἰδίᾳ ψυχῇ ἐστιν ἄχρηστος.
(Ecclesiasticus / Book of Sirach 37.19 )
As you can imagine, there are complex questions about what means by Greek religion. You might want to start with Kindt, Parker or Versnel. Harrison’s article is helpful for understanding how ‘religion’ is expressed via various genres.
